I'm tardy to the party for Nate Berkus Day, but nonetheless, here I am!
Apparently Nate doesn't have enough love, so this day was designated to let him know he has blog love, and nearly 100 bloggers (and still counting) are making this Nate Berkus Day.
Do you all remember this Elle Decor cover? It launched stripe rug love even more than the rug in the movie Somethings Gotta Give!
I got one for my living room back then! I was just at the beginning of a major living room revamp, and brought Nate into my house HERE
Visual Vamp living room revamp - then
I brought Nate into my bedroom HERE, and purchased two of his fab mercury glass lamps from Home Shopping Network, where he sells his well priced wares.
I also had one of my clients get two of these settees in this Ikat pattern. In this day and age, designers have to shop high and low, and this Nate Berkus settee is low in price, but high in style.

I also bought something for myself that I thought I'd never buy! Fake candles! Nate has these on HSN, and I really love them.
I love how they look in my giant hurricanes! I put sand in the bottom of the hurricanes and nestled the Nate candles in. They are so cool and have timers, and I swear they look realistic and not tacky.
I'm thinking of getting these branch candlesticks too!

So there you have it, my humble contribution for Nate Berkus Day!
Like so many others, I respect and adore his work, admire him as a person, and wish him a ton of bloggy love!
Thank you Moggit Girls!

I love how you used your striped rug! So much style! And I really love that you convinced your client to use two of those settees. I keep trying to come up with a place in my own home to use them!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you brought Nate home with you, lucky lady!! I have been contemplating a purchase of that blue rug, you might have just convinced me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on our NateDay! It surpassed all of my expectations!
I put small fake candles in our guest bathroom.. They look nice and work great as nite lites when grandchildren are staying.
